With a packed midfield, a goal from a set-piece, and a win against the odds, Everton went back to the future to beat the lacklustre league leaders…
It is difficult to say, even at the end of this 90 minutes, to say where Dyche’s Everton may be in a few weeks time. The evidence of the issues were clear to see for weeks prior to the dismissal of Frank Lampard. Defensively, they were terrible on set pieces and easy to pick off on the break. Their midfield frequently seemed to be, for all practical purposes, non-existent.
Arsenal started the second half much better, as though some rockets had been administered up some backsides at half-time by Mikel Arteta, but as the clock ticked over the most Sean Dyche goal of all gave Everton the lead, when Dwight McNeill crossed and James Tarkowski out-muscled Martin Odegaard to head in.
Defensively, that a goal came from a corner was no great surprise. They’d been struggling with clearing them all afternoon and continued to do so. In midfield, the incisiveness which has been their hallmark this season was blunted, with passes running astray and increasing desperation as the game progressed into its closing stages.
